Unable to open Tensorboard in browser

Question

I am following google cloud machine learning tutorial and I am unable to Launch TensorBoard

I've followed the steps in the above tutorial (also set up my environment using docker container) until typing the below command in the terminal

tensorboard --logdir=data/ --port=8080

Where the terminal outputs the below prompt

Starting TensorBoard 29 on port 8080
(You can navigate to http://172.17.0.2:8080)

When I visit http://172.17.0.2:8080 in my browser I see nothing (the server where this page is located is not responding).

Can someone please advice how I can launch Tensor Board ?

Answer 1

Had the same problem this morning. Solved it with

tensorboard --logdir=data/ --host localhost --port 8088

Navigated the browser to http://localhost:8088

Answer 2

Try

tensorboard --logdir=d:/data --host 0.0.0.0

This will open socket listening to all network interfaces, so you can connect from local host (same pc) or from the local network(from pc/mobile in network).
